We are trying to initiate Salesforce from company's portal and it was working fine until yesterday.

We are getting "SAML Provision Error" while trying to launch Salesforce via SSO from Portal.

On SAML Assertion Validation we found the below results :

Possible Suggestion/Solution #1

I'm a bit unsure on this and am assuming you control the company portal server. It seems that its internal clock is more than 8 mins (480000 milliseconds) out of sync with that of the Salesforce server.

Try updating / setting the clock on the company portal server so its within 8 mins of the Salesforce servers timestamp.
